Really goofy premise - I love it.

Developer

Thanks!

Well, that was a weird experience! I liked the creepy atmosphere and the whole idea of sorting heads. I have a theory that this is actually purgatory, and the guy in the room was a pretty headless person in his previous life. Now he's paying for his sins!

Developer

I like your theory! Thanks for playing.

Submitted

Love the concept and mix of genres. The short cutscenes, voicing, music and creepy room all added up to a fun experience. Great work!

Developer

Thanks for playing!

Fantastic premise, and loved the voice acting. It didn't seem like there was any reason to actually sort heads correctly though, is that right? Or is that what unlocks the secret? It made it feel a bit pointless, which perhaps is what you were going for, but it was less satisfying then as I was just throwing heads around willy nilly. (Which, don't get me wrong, is still fun).

Great job!

Developer

Thanks. I was kind of hoping people would have that moment of realization and would get a kick out of it. You're correct, truly sorting is directly related to the secret.

Submitted

definitely enjoyed all the heads talking back :)

I spiraled a bit on the dialogue, I had SOOO many lines and interactions but it ended up being an annoyance so I dialed it back.

Submitted

I almost made a sorting game for this jam, and I'm glad I didn't, because I never would've come up with a name this good. Bravo. Really fun loop, and great job on the audio!

Developer

Thank you! Hope you had fun.

Submitted

I’m not entirely sure what I played, but I had a good time :) especially with the throwing part! needle found

Developer

Glad you enjoyed!

Submitted

Really nice level of polish and sound design!

I didn't get why every head seemed to fit into every slot, so I just started throwing them around lol 

I saw later that this was part of the gag

Good job :)

Thanks for playing!

Very nice job with the cutscenes; it was a fun execution of the jam's concept!  I wish I could throw heads from a distance - I tried of course but had to pick them back up :P

Developer

Thanks, making the cutscenes was a lot more fun than I expected.

Submitted

I got stuck at the blood mop because I was throwing heads everywhere and couldnt find them haha this was fun! 

Developer

Thanks, glad you had fun!

Submitted

Great stuff. I was actually already throwing the heads by running and letting go or flicking the mouse on left click before the upgrade, both are fun.
There's no drawback for incorrectly sorting heads so at one point it was just easier to throw everything at the baskets and win by sheer numbers. That was also fun thought tbf :) 

Developer

Yeah! I had an alternate control scheme for just holding/releasing so you could physics fling before the 'throw' unlocks. :) *spoiler alert* You found my hidden gag, none of the sorting matters!! *end spoiler* Glad you found it fun!

Submitted

I only saw the first cutscene but I think it was great! I really wanted to be able to throw heads across the room lol.

Developer

Thanks for playing!

Submitted

Had a lot of fun with this! My only issue was that I got totally lost during the tidying up phase—I just couldn't understand what to do or how to progress at that point. Other than that confusing spot, it is a really entertaining and unique game!

Developer

Thanks! My partner had pointed the same thing out to me, and I just never got around to making that objective more clear. I'm glad you had fun!

Submitted

You did well with the cutscenes m8.

Developer(+1)

Thanks. I had a lot of fun goofing around recording the voices.

Submitted

You did well with the cutscenes m8.

Lots of fun to be had sorting heads, at first I was wondering what the talking ones were for and then the buckets came out. good humour, good voice acting, great work.

Developer

Thank you!

Submitted

I did not know sorting can be this much fun everrr!

Developer(+1)

Glad you had fun!

THIS IS GENIUS!!!

Developer

Thanks!!
